    Are there any free TV channels in Ireland that can be picked up with a UHF aerial?
    (That is, without a Saorview box or dish)

    Plug the aerial into your TV and do a scan to see what you can get.

    Ok, will do.

    My TV has C and S band - should I be on C band?

    It should also have a DVB-T/T2 terrestrial tuner, might be identified as antenna or aerial or air.

    It has the round aerial socket

    It's a Matsui 26 inch, about 8 years old

    Don't know the model, even if it's not compatible with Saorview it should at least display the Saorview channel list with audio if you're getting a signal via the aerial, it might be a UK Freeview MPEG-2 model.
